they have been shown to be helpful for people suffering from ADHD, but there is no evidence they help people suffering from depression
they provide temporary relief, but do not treat the underlying cause of the disorder
they take much longer to help people than psychodynamic therapy
they provide temporary relief, but do not treat the underlying cause of the disorder
